Tre Cime Di Lavaredo
The most unique rock formation we ever have seen
Hiking around Tre Cime Di Lavaredo
The highlight of our road trip in the Dolomites was the hike around the Tre Cime Di Lavaredo - Drei Zinnen Dolomites.
We didn't have high expectations before the hike, as this was our first trip to the Dolomites and nothing was planned in advance. Of course, we had seen all the amazing pictures of the unique rocks before we arrived, but no pictures can do justice to how spectacular these peaks are in real life. Don't cheat yourself to experience the three peaks.
Refugio Lavaredo
From the Rifugio Lavaredo hut we walked along a steep rocky path up to the Forcella Lavaredo viewpoint, from this point you can see the three peaks from the side - UNIQUE VIEW. You can also choose to walk on the gravel road, which is more accessible. Both paths lead to the Forcella Lavaredo viewpoint.
We stopped when we arrived at the viewpoint and enjoyed the wonderful view of the Tre Cime.

Vandretur omkring The Three Peaks er fantastisk fra alle sider
Vandreturen omkring Tre Cime er cirka 10 kilometer (6 miles) og tager omkring 4 timer at gå. Vi gjorde en masse stop og pauser, og vi brugte omkring 6 timer, før vi kom tilbage til vores autocamper. Vi gik stien med uret og for det meste fulgte vi stierne 101 og 105. Vandringen er vurderet let, men vi synes, at noget af delen er lidt af et arbejde. Vi vandrede med vores 2 et halvt år gamle hund, og han gjorde det så godt. Stien er for det meste bred, med løse sten og trin, hvilket kan gøre det lidt vanskeligt. Den sidste del af stien er den sværeste.
Hvis du har problemer med at gå, vil vi anbefale at gå til Rifugio Lavaredo og følge den lette sti op til det første udsigtspunkt og derefter gå tilbage samme vej til parkeringspladsen.
Season
We chose to visit the Dolomites in October, as we prefer to travel outside the high season. The colors are insanely beautiful at this time and the weather is still warm. During the fall, the thousands of larch trees change color to yellow and orange.
Location and parking
Tre Cime Di Lavaredo UNESCO World Heritage is located in the Sexten Dolomites in northeastern Italy.
The parking lot for Tre Cime di Lavaredo is located next to Rifugio Auronzo. The parking lot is very large and can accommodate hundreds of vehicles. It often fills up, so arrive well in advance or preferably the evening before. The road up to the parking lot starts north of Lago Misurina. You will come across a payment machine at the bottom at Lago d’Antorno, from here it is a 7 km drive up to the parking lot. There is a limit on how many vehicles are allowed to drive up.
Next to the payment machine you will see a digital sign that shows the number of available parking spaces. When it shows 0, the access to the parking lot is closed. Price approx. €30 per vehicle and approx. €45 per camper - valid for 24 hours
Parking and overnight stay in our own home, probably one of the most beautiful views we have ever experienced
Overnight stay
We were surprised to discover that we could spend a night at the top. If you arrive after 7pm, you can stay overnight at no extra charge. Your ticket is valid for 24 hours. Wake up the next morning to a magnificent view before the other tourists arrive. Rifugio Auronzo is located by the car park, but there are no facilities during the night, so you will need to be self-sufficient.
